- These couple of changes on your @CannondaleBicycles71 CAAD 12 bike will make braking less spongy and shifting more responsive!
Here's how I fixed cable routing on Synapse: • Zero Shifting On New C...

This video is a lifesaver - was able to solve my internal routing problems at home no problem.
Thank you. I am mounting my first bike and I finally found a video that explain very well the routing of cables.
Great and comprehensible video and visuals! Many thanks for sharing this!!!
Top, it is the best video which I found on youtube
For the rear deraileur cable, I put in a 2mm ID, 4mm od ptfe teflon tube about 12"long and went under the plastic guide not using it at all. The tube doesn't move around due to the plastic guide wedging it in place. This set up really cut down on the resistance in that area under the bb shell.
Awesome videos. I find myself trying to listen over such background music
Thank you this helped me very much!!
Nice video! I could never have the back brake on the right shifter though! Gonna be doing this for the first time on my Caad12 very soon.
Good video that will help me better run the cables on the CAAD12 frame I just bought. But to be honest I'm not sure what the "changes" are. I was thinking you were going to offer an alternative way to run the cables.
I wish I had a caad12
I am waiting for the new video with this old yellow beast ;) Maybe in action.
The noise in the Toptube while breaking is normal I learned. Would a liner inside the frame help?
I've done reverse levers before (UK style). Do you think that would help this situation?
Why not attach some string or fishing line to the cable that you pull out, then attach it to the new cable and use it to pull the new cable through like machine builders do when they build machines?
My CAAD 10 has all external cables.
Just one reason I went with Etap and hydraulic brakes
Hi, do you know if hollowgram si cranksets fit on CAAD 12 without needing any adapters or anything? Im confused if its BB30 or 30a. Mine came with FSA omega cranks that say BB30, I want to upgrade them. Any help much appreciated, great vids!
yeap, mine shifts really poorly and I can see the cable frailed in the open section near the chainstay that you mentioned. I need to change that cable following your video, thanks.
Be sure to use premium highly polished cables like Jagwire, Btwin premium cables from Decathlon. Don't use teflon coated. They work well for a time until the teflon coat wears off.
Had to do this on my mates Cannondale. Cable routing is a pain in the arse.
Spryciula 😎👍
I have cannondale synapse alloy 105 with mechanical disc brake and 105 groups. I am thinking of upgrading the brakes to hydraulic like getting shimano ST-RS685 levers and BR-RS785 calipers. Any thoughts on routing the hose internally to replace the cable ones.
I am confused. If cables are routed rubbish from factory (right to right, left to left), then why didn't you take the opportunity to route them to opposite side (like all the new MTBs)?
Hey Danny, big fan since the channel name was Cannondanny, I was wondering if you were making the routing of the cables in that CAAD 12 look harder than it actually is. I mean, I find having a bike with internal cable routing inconvenient on my 2015 CAAD Synapse, but complaints didn't really come up to my mind about it's performance. The bike I normally compare my bikes performance to is my brother in-law's Giant Defy Aluxx Disc, which has those amazing TRP dual piston mechanical calipers that I like, and my friend's BB30 CAAD 8 and I don't really see any difference in the effort to shift or brake. The only pet peeve about the Synapse though is the need for long reach calipers. Hopefully you won't take offense in my opinion, cheers!
What to do in english version?
Excellent video - is it possible to run an outer all the way to the calliper through the frame? Any downside of doing this?
It's not, there's a cable housing stop at the front of the top tube.
I cut if off twice and it is still too short.
I just got a bike and want to join a Xc races but idk how! Help!
My friend's CAAD 12 has r7000 derailleur, and the gap for gear housing is too tight, it only stays in tune for a short while after installing new cables and housing, I'm planning to replace the derailleur to the old 105 5800 to fix, not sure if it works but I'm going to try it.
I've never had a shift housing end cap being overly snug in that derailleur's barrel adjuster. Are you sure you're not using a brake housing's end cap? Or are you talking about the shift housing's curve?
If it's the curve you're talking about, Shimano road rear derailleurs with Shadow RD (105 R7000, Ultegra R8000 and Dura-Ace R9100) require a different shift housing (ex. Shimano OT-RS900) that can bend even tighter than regular shift housing. Aftermarket versions from Jagwire and Ciclovation exist too. This is only needed for bikes where the shift housing stops at the rear dropout instead of somewhere at the chainstay.
What’s for a hole with black plug on the downtube?
zdravo for DI2 I think
1) the plastic cable guide for shift was supposed to be expanded and sit properly in the cable guide. You pulled it down and now you cut it?
2) You can swap the inner cable housing just before and inside the cable guide in the bottom bracket. Yes they shouldn't be convoluted but just one cross is ok provided that the plastic cable is in place and the wires don't rub each other naked.
I did it and swap sides so cables are going smoothly from right lever to left side and vice versa. ;) no difference in shifting and no rubbing on the head tube anymore...
Thank you for the idea. I'l do just that
is it same for CAAD13? I cannot find any clue for CAAD13 BB cable guide at anywhere.
The CAAD13 uses a different cable guide, it's not identical to this one.
Never shorten the cable housing without inserting an old piece of cable! This will crush the housing too much!
That clear tubing for internal routing, what kind is it? How can I get some new?
It's a cable liner, some new framesets do come with them to ease the routing procedure. Some bike shops may keep them, so you can check if your LBS has some.
Found some from jagwire. Part JSAD000
How to get hydraulic housing through the frame without internal routing kit?
Hahaha tle ni pravil oz navodila, zajebavaj se dokler ti ne uspe probaj najprej z kaksnim laksom priti skozi

Magic and a lot of swearing basically 😂
if you change the spiral wire housing to longitudine wire housing , will feels much less spongey (sorry for the possible wrong pronuncation)
I'm quite sure you are talking about gear outer cables and the hole is smaller so I'm not so sure it's better.
Nope don't do that. Brake cable has to be spiral to withstand the extra compression force. You should even replace the housing if the outer sheath is cracked or worn.
just think about the weight saving. GrEaT ViDeO.
Bro, magnets dont destroy SD Cards.
Route the cables either: with what you are used to, or: dominant hand for the front brake, always. Stopping power at the front is the most important, so if you are right handed (about 90%) front brake - right side.
one thing the caad13 "solves" -- disc brake...no spongy feel that plus DI2/EPS... and no cable problems :-) but yeah still have rim versions and basically same routing through they fixed rear derailleur from crank but at the front end I am scratching my head still. It is just a weird thing, maybe I can buy a use frame and have someone braze on some external cable guides :-)
Do the routing again... Hhhh
How to make rollers at home
Internal routing for the chainstays is totally unnecessary, it would be much simpler to make combination internal/external.
Don't be afraid of magnets next to SD cards or electronics in general. It's an quite old myth, that they can cause harm to discs, hdds or even SD cards. Even neodyn magnets will not erase your data. ;-)
Magnets/electromagnetic field can interfere with computers
@@adccars359 they can interfere but will not alter any operation perfomermed electronically. It is absolutely safe to say: Any magnet that is not powered by a thick cable or any magnet you can safely lift from the ground (weightwise) wont have enough strength to harm data on a sdcard or a pc. Drive heads are another thing. They can bend and scratch the rotating discs inside a hdd, but a sdcard is fine with magnetism. A sdcard does not contain anything magnetic nor is there anything that can interfere.
They can mess up a tv screen, I learned the hard way lol
@@swpa8742 lol, true that... Loved going to department stores as a kid and messing up the screens.
Be thankful you don't own a Giant propel. Worst cable routing design imaginable. Had to drill out the stops and run continuous housing for it to work just ok.
Entschuldigung sollte die weiße Hülse nicht nur als Hilfe dienen und was sollte das kürzen ? Jetzt bewegt sich die Hülse doch ohne anschlag ? Ich verstehe das nicht.
In meinem Fall habe ich die Teflonschläuche nicht gekürzt. Ich konnte die Schaltzüge durchschieben und die Teflonschläuche haben so prima als Führung für die Züge gedient. Die Teflonschläuche hingen vorn an den Löchern im Rahmen dran, sie herauszuziehen wäre in meinem Fall ein Fehler gewesen.
Good frame, bad BB, creaks alot
Had 3 sets of bearings replaced within the first 2 months of ownership with my CAAD10, twice by the dealer and once by myself using Loctite 609. Bearings lasted almost 4 years without creaking after I did it :P
BB30 doesn't creak for my friend's CAAD 8. Still wouldn't want to work on it though. Lucky I have threaded on my CAAD Synapse.
Bb infinite. Creak free
wheels mfg bb30a adapter and R7000 crank. problem solved
Can you please stop using inches and use simple centimeters

Cannondale they have the worst customer service.
They made that bike so complicated, why.
The plastic "thingy" behind casette look so bad and cheap to me.
Turn off the background music. Its too loud and annoying. Maybe if the music volume was much lower it would be less annoying.
I would start by saying thank you to this man who spends endless hours in making these videos, not mentioning the hours of research and practice. If your issue is his background music, suggest you visit other channels with similar content, loads out there my friend
Never buying cannondale again. Nothing but problems.
Get a bike, with disc brakes problem solved
Yeah but weighs the same as an anchor.
